But great at first.

So I ordered this for a new PC build I started working on. Setup was easy, although I had to use an external CD drive as I (of course) didn't have an internet connection. Upon launch, I experienced excellent download speeds and was very impressed overall. But after a month I started having some problems. I kept getting disconnects. After spending a lot of time on the router's administration page and making small changes to the WiFi and QOS settings (I switched to a constant 5GHz signal), I noticed a small performance boost. I even checked for updated drivers, more difficult than for this device by the way. As soon as I updated them, I felt an increase in performance. But I kept getting disconnects. It was a real pain during the games. Constant problems with dsync meant I was losing and I had various network deaths due to disconnects. They gradually got worse, and then they stopped, and then they started. In the end I had enough. After trying various tricks with the router and even getting my wifi box closer with no positive result, I ordered EDUP after seeing someone looking at different wifi dongles/antennas and I have to say I haven't found any yet had problems with EDUP. And it was cheaper and smaller! It's a shame because it started well and showed promise. But it just popped up when I needed it most. Avoid
